Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fires of war begin to burn again in Germany as the Third Reich look to forge an empire the likes the world has never seen. Lady Morgan Worthington and the Knights of the White Dragon arrive to assist the Nazi Regime with the power of the Palladium as they have done for centuries, only this time finding the ultimate despot who will seemingly stop at nothing to achieve his goal. Their rivals, the Knights of the Red Dragon, led by British Government Official Todd Allen, born of the Sir Galahad bloodline and Camille Rochelle, a French Resistance soldier born of the Sir Gawain bloodline, must challenge the surge of hate spreading across Europe...but a vital ally in World War I veteran Ben Benson of the Sir Bedivere bloodline faces a more personal challenge of his own. The Sacred Band of one-hundred and fifty male lovers fight to prevent the Palladium and cursed Necklace of Harmonia once again reigning terror upon the innocents caught in their infinite cycle of destruction, the oath their ancestors swore upon in Ancient Thebes. But with so many of their kind targeted by ruthless schemes of persecution, the allies to the Red Dragon wear thin. Adam Drobinski, a Polish fighter pilot and Concentration Camp escapee flees to the safety of Britain and discovers what he long considered a weakness in his sexuality to be his greatest strength in desperate times. Through the secret workings of Bletchley Park and cryptographers united in stalling the Nazi advance, messages are received relating to another precious relic, not of the infamous Trinity, that might just be fuelling the Third Reich's success.

Book excerpt: The blade of the Thirteenth has risen - cursed and unforgiving. The tale of the most dutiful Sir Percival, the Right Hand Knight of King Arthur, surges back to life in the unassuming Spanish city of Manresa - fabled location of Castle Corbenic and the venerable Fisher King. The city and its people appear unharmed by the ill fortunes that plagued the world at the hands of Niobid Damasichthon, but the source of its protection raises fears amongst the Sacred Band and those descendants of the Round Table. A delve into history and the swell of the Iberian Empire at the hands of Morgan le Fay through her control of the Palladium and Necklace of Harmonia unlocks secrets behind the rise and fall of the infamous Armada and subsequent dawning of the Elizabethan Golden Age - all not being as it seems when compared to the familiar forging of empires over the many centuries. A poisonous legacy endures, a legacy potentially unmatched by even the most formidable of relics, Excalibur.

Book excerpt: From classicist James Romm comes a “striking…fascinating” (Booklist) deep dive into the last decades of ancient Greek freedom leading up to Alexander the Great’s destruction of Thebes—and the saga of the greatest military corps of the time, the Theban Sacred Band, a unit composed of 150 pairs of male lovers. The story of the Sacred Band, an elite 300-man corps recruited from pairs of lovers, highlights a chaotic era of ancient Greek history, four decades marked by battles, ideological disputes, and the rise of vicious strongmen. At stake was freedom, democracy, and the fate of Thebes, at this time the leading power of the Greek world. The tale begins in 379 BC, with a group of Theban patriots sneaking into occupied Thebes. Disguised in women’s clothing, they cut down the agents of Sparta, the state that had cowed much of Greece with its military might. To counter the Spartans, this group of patriots would form the Sacred Band, a corps whose history plays out against a backdrop of Theban democracy, of desperate power struggles between leading city-states, and the new prominence of eros, sexual love, in Greek public life. After four decades without a defeat, the Sacred Band was annihilated by the forces of Philip II of Macedon and his son Alexander in the Battle of Chaeronea—extinguishing Greek liberty for two thousand years. Buried on the battlefield where they fell, they were rediscovered in 1880—some skeletons still in pairs, with arms linked together. From violent combat in city streets to massive clashes on open ground, from ruthless tyrants to bold women who held their era in thrall, The Sacred Band recounts “in fluent, accessible prose” (The Wall Street Journal) the twists and turns of a crucial historical moment: the end of the treasured freedom of ancient Greece.

Martin David Anthony Durham’s acclaimed fantasy saga, the Acacia Trilogy, continues . . . As The Sacred Band begins, Queen Corinn bestrides the world as a result of her mastery of spells from the Book of Elenet. Her younger brother, Dariel, has been sent on a perilous mission to the Other Lands. And her sister, Mena, travels to the far north to face an invasion of the feared race of the Auldek. As their separate trajectories converge, a series of world-shaping, earth-shattering battles will force the surviving children of the Akaran dynasty to confront their fates head on—and right some ancient wrongs once and for all.

Book excerpt: The Sacred Band Trinity concludes with the remaining Red Dragon members in a race against time to prevent Lady Morgan Worthington and her White Dragon acolytes fulfilling an ancient prophecy that would reshape the world. Luke Allen possesses the fabled blade of Excalibur, but must understand its true nature in order to wield it, whereas younger brother Adam conflicted by grief and duty as a Sacred Band warrior. The mysteries of King Arthur and the Round Table unfold before them both, and to prevent centuries worth of history repeating once more, they and their allies must stand and confront the power of the Trinity - the foundation of many faiths - and be prepared to do whatever is necessary to protect those they love. Even if this means making the ultimate sacrifices.

The knights of the White Dragon wield both the Palladium and the Necklace of Harmonia once again, a power strong enough to both create and topple empires. The world however, remains largely unchanged since the Red Dragon encountered their foes at Tintagel, leaving them to wonder exactly what their former brethren of the Round Table have planned. Meantime, a legendary relic entwined to both factions has had its own calling, with one Knight in particular having to rise to the challenge.

Book excerpt: The legendary myths of Ancient Greece and Arthurian Britain are brought together in the search for a prized relic of limitless power born from the love and grief of the goddess Pallas Athena herself. The descendants of the Sacred Band of Thebes – one hundred and fifty male lovers and the bravest of warriors - have sworn an oath to defend the relic and protect it from falling into the wrong hands...an honour shared by Six of the direct descendants of King Arthur's Round Table of Knights. Challenge comes from the Knights' own former brethren, the Six that believe in an alternative vision of control and order for the world. Both factions have been at war over the centuries...and now comes the opportunity for each to realise their destinies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A wide-ranging look at the interplay of opera and political ideas through the centuries The Politics of Opera takes readers on a fascinating journey into the entwined development of opera and politics, from the Renaissance through the turn of the nineteenth century. What political backdrops have shaped opera? How has opera conveyed the political ideas of its times? Delving into European history and thought and music by such greats as Monteverdi, Lully, Rameau, and Mozart, Mitchell Cohen reveals how politics—through story lines, symbols, harmonies, and musical motifs—has played an operatic role both robust and sotto voce. This is an engrossing book that will interest all who love opera and are intrigued by politics.
